We saw numerous bollywood movies releasing in 2016, but some of those were among the ones which we should not miss out on, and once must watch them. Here is the list of such movies that were released in 2016.
- Dear Zindagi
A wonderful movie, which is set apart from all the general movie genres we regularly get to see in bollywood movies. The roles of Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt fit well in the movie and it could not have been better. Shah Rukh arrives in the 2nd half of the movie, and plays the role of showing Alia a new perspective to look at life and brings her out of her emotional misery. If you are thinking that the 1st half would not be much interesting, then you are wrong! Alia Bhatt has carried the beginning elegantly, and she is seen in her natural childish role, which adds to the fun elements that you will notice in the movie.

Dangal
Aamir Khan went on to increase his weight a lot for the movie, and later on he transformed his body into that of a muscular hunk, and you will get to see both his avatars in the movie.
The movie is all about how the two daughters of Mahavir Singh Phogat (Aamir Khan), named Geeta (Fatima Shaikh) and Babita (Sanya Malhotra) Kumari. The movie is based on true events of the struggle of these two sisters, and how their father, a formed National level wrestler, fought against those who opposed the participation of his daughters in wrestling, and how his daughters went on to become the 2 greatest female wrestlers of India. Some of the events shown in the movie are a little spiced up and not true in detail. Also, the direction of the movie is really good, and it will keep you seated till the end.
IMDb- Rustom
The story dates back to the 1950's and revolves around an Indian Naval Officer Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar), married to Cynthia Pavri (Ileana D'Cruz). Rustom discovers about his wife's affair with his friend Vikram Makhija (Arjan Bajwa). The movie shows the actual events, where Rustom murders Vikram Makhija, and how well he manipulates the incident to make it look like an accident.

It mainly revolve around two brothers, a very successful Rahul (Fawad Khan) and an under-achiever Arjun (Sidharth Malhotra), who come to their family home to visit their grandfather (Rishi Kapoor).Rahul is a successful novelist who is the ideal son of the family. Whereas, Arjun is the struggling disreputable member of the family. Like any two siblings, these brothers also have love, rivalry and a bit of jealousy amongst each other, which is shown in a very subtle way. Tia (Alia Bhatt) is a typical girl next door character who is portrayed as very adorable, and with a playful nature.

M.S. Dhoni : The Untold Story
This is a biopic of an Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni (played here by Sushant Singh Rajput). The movie traces his life from his days as a young athlete and a football lover, all the way till how he became one of the greatest batsman and an outstanding captain of the Indian cricket team. It shows the family drama he had to face, and the people who helped him on his path, including the love of his life. The best thing about the movie is, that if you are a fan of cricket, then you will be thrilled by the scenes when the crowd cheers for him, when he comes on the field to bat! Some of the scenes were very well directed, but then again, the clippings from match were quite monotonous somewhere.
IMDb
- Pink
The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan along with Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang. Taapsee Pannu and her friends get molested by a gang of young men, one of whom is apparently a friend of the 3 girls. This leads to an accident and land them in court. Things becomes more complicated to them when Deepak(Amitabh Bachchan) joins to help them to get away from the court. The movie portrays how young girls face difficulties, even in urban cities, and how society thinks of them, even when they are not at any kind of fault.
The acting of Amitabh Bachchan is very intense at some points, and the movie has used few bold dialogues, which goes well along with the severity of the crime.

Airlift
Ranjit Katyal (Akshay Kumar), a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman settled in Kuwait, always sees himself as a Kuwaiti, rather than an Indian. He has too much influence on the people in his business. He later on becomes the man, who is looked upon by all the stranded Indians, after Iraq invades Kuwait.The movie shows the risks he took in travelling from city to city, to get help from any of his contact, to ensure that every Indian reach their country safely. From Amman, 1,70,000 Indians were brought home by the largest and the most successful evacuation ever attempted by any country, in the history of the world. Over 59 days, the Indian government systematically flew over 488 Air India commercial flights into a war zone to evacuate all 1,70,000 Indians and safely bring them back home.It is inspiring in its own way, and it will send a tinge of respect towards India, of what the country is capable of, but on the downside, it also shows that how few politicians in the higher hierarchy, do not care about their own people in times of of distress and ignore some of the most difficult situations.
IMDb
Fan
The movie is about a supposedly biggest fan, Gaurav, of Shah Rukh Khan, who is crazy after the superstar since his childhood. He grows up, and goes to Mumbai to meet SRK. He creates a mess to meet the star, and is arrested by police. SRK comes to meet him in the jail, and they get into a jiff, and SRK says some unruly words to this “fan”. Gaurav then feels that what SRK did to him was not right, and he seeks revenge. He sells his cyber cafe, and tries to spoil SRK’s image by illegal means, making use of his identical appearance to SRK.
The role played by SRK as Gaurav, is something very new and unexpected, which is one of the best thing to watch in the movie. The plot is not too strong, but the acting is one thing to watch!
